What to expect

Once we get you scheduled, you will either have a phone consultation or an in person meeting with our certified clinician, Dr. LoRang. He will perform a history and determine if off-label hyperbaric treatment is appropriate for you. In tandem with your goals and your current presentation, he will work with you to develop your protocol.

​

On subsequent visits, you’ll work directly with our hyperbaric technicians to assist you in and out

of the chamber and to monitor you throughout your treatments.
